thats because they made sure to not rush the story like waht they did in Inazuma.. I hope in 3.3, if Raiden Ei will have another story quest, us traveller will inform her about scara.. hahaha
I never thought Nahida would become my favorite character in a game that I practically treated like a waifu simulator. I like genshins story and there’s certain characters whose stories I connected with more than others. But none come even close to how much I loved Nahidas. I absolutely adore this child and want to support her in whatever she does. Amazing storytelling. From the very beginning Nahidas story just hit different and made me feel so much heartache. She is such a brilliantly well written character.
Scara desperately trying to get the gnosis back in the cutscene was so sad, I felt terrible for him, in the end he just wants to have a meaning/purpose for his existence😥 The last cutscene with Greater Lord Rukkhadevata caused so much pain😭, I cried so much, now whenever I hear that specific OST I get sad now
When it comes to Scaramouche's defeat I think the reason it was so abruptly moved on from was to emphasize not only the immense importance that the cleansing of Irminsul's contamination was but also to show that in grand scheme of things Scaramouche's health and safety were not of the upmost concern to Nahida, the Traveler, and Paimon. It feels cruel and the scene were Nahida takes back the electro gnosis and Scaramouche's VA stellar performance during it really made me, a Scaramouche despiser, feel some level of sympathy and pity for him. In the context of everything he was a part of that hurt other people when his worldview was based on three misunderstandings on his part it felt almost right to me that his fall was glossed over since why would you care to understand deeper the perspective of another when they themselves glossed over the lives and feelings of others for their own self satisfaction. Scaramouche is a very good character. He's the kind of character that you love to hate but he also strikes that very careful balance of someone you care for because of his tragic ignorance. If he had known the reasoning behind Ei's release of him, understood the actions of his friend in "rejecting" him, and understood that natural mortality is a part of the human experience then maybe he would've turned out a more balanced and reasonable person. The information he was given, the context it was presented to him in, and his subsequent interpretations lead him down the path that he walked throughout the story. Of course, just because he has a sad backstory doesn't excuse him of everything he's done but at the same time you can't help but get the "parental figure" feelings with him; it's like watching your child do something stupid and wanting to correct their behaviour for their own sake.
I agree with you as someone who likes Scaramouche as a character. Also, if you think about it, Nahida taking away the Gnosis is also for his sake. By no longer having the Gnosis (which he considered his heart), and now being in a coma, he can now learn that showing your feelings doesn't make you weak, and also hopefully learn that even though he was created as a vessel for the Gnosis, he doesn't need the Gnosis in order to feel worthy.
With the new information we were given, it honestly becomes much more tragic. Like he still misunderstood Ei and the Child, but the situation with Niwa, he was completely and utterly tricked and made to think the man who raised him like a son saw him as expendable.
@@hadrianhexe9603 Did anyone ever doubt Scaramouche's backstory would be incredibly tragic except for _maybe_ back in 1.1? He deserves a grade of understanding and sympathising, because that is how an atagonist is well written to begin with in most cases. But, apart from Signora, Scara was _the_ asshole of the story from his introduction. Before 3.3, we only had nuggets of _maybe_ sympathetic happenings to him. Scara is the perfect example of "hot character hot therefore justified". Altought, even if I don't think he has gone through his full redemption arc yet, I genuinely think his "Story quest because he needs to be a playable character because money"-arc was genuinely good all things considered. His reasoning for being on "our" side is actually genuinely convincing, considering his characteristics and ego. At this point I love Kitt- I mean Bo- I mean Scara, but Scara fans are scary.
Abandoned by his mother, Betrayed by his smithing mentor, Having outlived his child companion, Treated like a mere experimental subject by his doctor, Stripped away of his godhood and first follower, Now a shackled being and pet of Nahida. In the end, Scara just wanted an identity that is more than just an empty disgarded puppet that somehow gained a sense of self. I hope his therapist Nahida can fix this in the upcoming patch.
I think Nahida just appears to be the most active archons working for her people because we got to directly witness her at work. Zhongli worked for thousands of years for the benefit of Liyue, we just didn't get to see any of it.
The fist thing I thought after the scara fight was “this is going to destroy Lorie”. I have being waiting for your reaction and it did not disappointed
When the Traveler tries to break the barrier in Nahida’s realm of consciousness, they are using anemo. And what does anemo represent? Freedom. Talk about symbolism.
true even her lore and every context related to her is removed for irl game....did you know that before rukkhadevata's sacrifice evertime you visit the statue of seven there is a faint voice that echos as you get healed...i think its related to the same words.."world...forget me..." but after she is erased from memories that echo from the statues of seven also goes silent.....the game will never be the same after doing this archon quest....I got this info from a tiktok video, I tried it and its true.
It is sad but I think it was also a bit necessary for her character. Prior to that happening the only gods anyone ever mentioned was King Deshret and Rukkhadevata. Nahida was NEVER mentioned by ANYONE. She's the only god in Sumeru and the only one constantly ignore and never considered. Even after everything she would still be compared to Rukkhadevata by others (and likely even by herself). For Nahida and Sumeru's growth, this NEEDED to happen.
I mean Raiden could have destroyed him but she didn't. I think she just wasn't able to handle him because she had issues going on though i think it was pretty irresponsible for not guiding him at least. I hope they get reunited at some point.
@@amateurbarnaby I believe she initially intended to but then more or less felt bad so she let him wander about without any guidance. Certainly not the best decision. I imagine though killing the entity you create after just losing your sister probably wasn't easy either so I can't blame her. I do like how yae admits to just wanting to kill him when ei wasn't paying attention (if yae had known how much trouble he would be in the future)
I hate that now it would be kinda impossible... By erasing himself from the Irminsul, he has erased Kunikuzushi from Ei's memory as well. So wouldn't recognise him. Alas, maybe the gold feather that he keeps on his person could MAYBE help her recollect. It's very interesting how the Irminsul works as it's like a 'database' and the forbidden knowledge a 'virus'. Deleting information causes it to be permanently deleted but nothing fills that deleted space.
I honestly dont know if u know this but as a scara lover ive heard from the jp community, scara second boss theme actually has his VA singing on the end part of the song , its not that hard to notice since it sounds similar to his english VA , but when i heard about this i screamed from the inside
So happy to see a fellow Scara stan. Did you notice that in his redesign, he has the same bell shape motifs that Nahida has? The little bell on his chest and his weapon is shaped like a bell. Looks just like the bell on Nahidas back at 2:52:53. Looks like she really did become a "stepmum" to him. 🥺 And she will absolutely play a huge roll into his redemption arc Edit: it's *dune-yar-zahd.* Not dune-ya-zard. *Dunyarzad* is an actual Farsi name.
You probably already know, but Rukkhadevata and Haypasia do, in fact, share an English VA: Chloe Eves! They also just got a puppy recently, and named her Ruka.
The biggest highlight of this from the stream was lorie sitting quiet for like 10 mins since no one caught scaramouche. Let’s be real lorie he had that coming 😢😅 But overall the archon quest was a solid 10/10 😊😊😊😊
@@LorieMegistus I felt consuled that Nahida is taking care of him now as she said at the very end. I assume she knew he wouldn't die and let him fall to knock him out, otherwise he would try to murder her to get the gnosis... all part of her wisdom? She did mention that she understands some things about him that he has yet to discover.
Definitely, but I think the utter dethroning and humiliation, him being forced to reconcile with the fact that his fate is not tied to a gnosis, will all be part of his personal "reset" to discover who he is independent to his original purpose. I think Mihoyo crushing him as much as they did in this story is a blessing in disguise for him.
@@VaioletteWestover yes, I felt much better at the end after you ask about him! I really love that she’s taking care of him and really can’t wait to see what comes from that in future story. ☺️
This quest was WILD! Everything from bawling my eyes out for Nahida, to actually feeling a little bad for Scara for once, to the absolutely insane lore dump we got at the end with Dottore, Nahida, and the Descenders. This single quest blew the other three nations questlines (which I enjoyed all of) out of the water. I can't wait to see what they do with the story when we get to Fontaine.
@@jojomuppet1820 I mean to be fair he's technically a puppet that lived for centuries, if a fall from that height could kill him then he wouldn't even be here in the current time Besides its like Kokonut said, irminsal was much more urgent and the area they were in was hidden so I doubt anyone would nab him that easily Tho in the end Nahida did keep him safe after everything was over so she did make up for it (my current headcanon Is that she'd be like a therapist to him until he gets the anemo vision)
keep in mind that technically, Irminsul situation is not that urgent. they can definitely spend an hour or two to double check Scaramouche and move to a safer location. but then again, Dottore wouldn't have a chance to show up if Traveler and Nahida regroup with the Sumeru gang lol
Tip: in the first phase , use the fully charged akasha terminal to paralyze him by standing on an electro panel (stand on a panel then press T), that would give him 50% paralyze. Stand on the remaining electro panel will paralyze him completely (you need 4 energy crystals to do that whole process) (you can get the hidden achievement by doing that) Extra tips: Pyro panel clears out ice floor Cryo panel clears out fire floor Ameno panel lets you dodge his lazer beam attack by using winglider to fly upward Hydro panel heals you (Note: every panel refills characters' elemental bursts) (congrats for getting a hidden achievement when he roasts you after his spirit bomb)
i love scaramouche but it’s *hilarious* to me how they just moved on and didn’t bother checking if his skull was still intact after that fall. they really pulled an “oh no… anyway-” 😭 😭 edit: i know he’s a puppet. it’s just hilarious to think of 😶
I genuinely think that if Lord Rukkhadevata wasn't corrupted by the forbidden knowledge and had managed to stay alive after what happened 500 years ago, she would've journeyed all the way to Inazuma and comfort Ei with Makoto's passing. Makoto brought Ei in an Archons' gathering anyway so they could've been at least acquaintances after all those meetings. And Sumeru's quests are all about acceptance of death and joy for rebirth after all, one thing that could've at least soothed Ei's pain.
This is probably the best Archon Quest in Genshin Impact, so many though moments but can we talk about the LORE we got? OMFG, THIS IS THE THING I LOVE TO SEE😳🔥
The encounter with Grand Sage Azar is such a great build up of tension. I really believed that Alhaitham actually betrayed the plan and was secretly working for the Akademiya and the scene kept flip-flopping who was ahead.
One of the most interesting parts from this archon quest is that when you forget greater lord, the world ACTUALLY forgets her. Nahidas details are changed and many other sources of the greater lord is changed.
it goes even deeper where mentions of rukkhadevata are removed from the aranyaka questline as well. "the forest will remember" cannot apply here since the forest removed her :(
One little detail, when we see Tighnari and Dottore talking, Dottore's voice is a little different then when he talks with Nahida. If we paid attention, we could figure it out before that it was different segments
There so much good things to say about this act. Scaramouche, Nahida crying, "berserk" Alhaitham, Alhaitham's "roommate", Nahida thanking the heroes, Dunyarzad's & Collei's Eleazar cured. This Archon quest beats the previous nations combined. What will Fontaine bring I wonder?
who know .. mondtstadt was fairytale Liyue was anime story Inazuma was depressive Sumeru was chaotic (shamsaras , secret plots etc ) Fontaine will likely bring something very different again to keep things fresh
I have already watched your Twitch stream but I just want to say it's always been fun watching your reactions to the Archon Quests. I love how you empathize with the characters. As an emotional person myself, I laughed and cried with you while experiencing the final act again.
If the world tree can't record information about "US" the Traveler, than most likely when it comes time to leave Teyvat, everyone will forget us and our existence will be replaced with another figure or be obscured/become fuzzy.
People are concerned (some are angry) for scara's fall and here i'm wondering and concerned for nahida, girl probably been squashed and stabbed repeatedly during those loops and cycles.
Ikr I honestly don’t understand why people are so obsessed with him. Like I definitely feel empathy for him but to me he doesn’t have any redeeming qualities. He literally would’ve killed us and so many other people
@@7mythicalmonsters I like my men fucked up. I don't wanna fix him i want him to keep being evil It's not about redeeming qualities, it's about if i like them or not
Also, I know this was a lot but Lorie you absolutely NEED to do Tighnari's story quest. I don't wanna say anything that could spoil, just trust it's one of the best ones in the game.
I personally believe that the four descenders are 1. The heavenly principles (a little confused about this, is the heavenly principles a person or a title, we know that the Primordial one is the elder god who first came to teyvat so is the unknown god also the primordial one?) 2. Either someone we’ve never met or the leader of the abyss 3. Alice, she is able to freely travel worlds and has given information to the people of teyvat about other worlds (the word “idol” for Barbara and the dodoco telephone for Klee) 4. And obviously the MC Nahida specifically said that the abyssal twins fate changed near the end of their journey, clearly something happened that was able to completely change the abyssal twins perspective. I have a theory though, if the abyssal twin went on the same Journey as us (Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, then Snezhnaya) then does that mean that the Tsaritsa told them something? All of the harbingers seem to have extensive knowledge that not even gods know of, and the Tsaritsa is their leader who just so happened to change completely after the Cataclysm. Perhaps she directly saw the “truth of teyvat” and it destroyed her. She then told the abyssal twin and that’s when their fate changed, and they started working with the abyss. I also believe that Istaroth is the one who is purposely obscuring their fate, she has a duty as a shade of the primordial one to keep balance and maybe the abyssal twin broke that balance. This part is strictly a theory though.
to add on to your hypothesis, can we say that the primordial one is also a descender? let's put it in a puppet show the characters in the puppet show ( people of tevyat) but as the god, we are actually outside controlling them, we are not in the same world as them
@@ahteng3739 I definitely agree. I think we’ve been led astray though. At the beginning of the game, we come into contact with the heavenly principles. We initially thought that she was a god of Celestia but I’m not too sure about that anymore. In the manga, Venti talks about the gods of Celestia and the shadows that are shown are almost normal, kind of like the archons in their everyday suits. That leads me to believe that the unknown god is actually the primordial one. She is extremely different and she has powers not of this world. We know that the primordial one was the first person to come to teyvat. So maybe the unknown god is the primordial one.
@@ahteng3739 Overthrown by the second who came, though the SWC did form Celestia and it’s gods (I’m pretty sure, it’s been a awhile since I’ve read the Enkanomiya books)
3:18:06 ""Sheikh zubayr is busy completing the quest The warm rhythm of the streets"" I love story quests and the theatre and all, but had to skip some stuff because of this overlap in quests 😭 its such a struggle fr they need to fix it so we can enjoy both
my love for Scaramouche keep growing even more 😭💚💚 I felt his desperation when the Gnosis taken away from Nahida 😭😭😭. and his voice when want the Gnosis back... 😭😭😭😭
poor scaramouche wishing to fight in archon war ... not realizing beings like zhoongli /Ei would laught to his current form btw Isaak/Nahida banner .. when
Lorie in battle: ,,I'm not paying attention, what happened?" Yep we already noticed you completely ignored the easy way and not using nahidas helping drone. Rather even letting ayaka dieing 😂
alhaitham and kaveh got me interested in their dynamic but i told myself id stay loyal to thoma and ayato. i love how i can just feel comfortable (and chaotic) connecting to this game emotionally because of your chaotic steams ❤️
With the descenders thing, We Technically(?) know 3 of them. - Susty/Heavenly Principals - The Traveler - And believe Alice is one. shes not from tevyat and could be from somewhere else in the world its mentioned somewhere she travels across worlds like the traveler. As for the unknown Descender, got no clue.
I still have a long way to go, still have aranara world quests, still have some chasm quests (I am so sick of that giant hole) and I only just finished the Dunyarzard quest which was probably one of the worst things to ever be created by humans. Right up there with Tsurumi island
even after the new story, this. This ending still has me crying the hardest, the ending with her words saying farewell to her people. Just ruins me, every time without fail.

Besides its like Kokonut said, irminsal was much more urgent and the area they were in was hidden so I doubt anyone would nab him that easily
Tho in the end Nahida did keep him safe after everything was over so she did make up for it (my current headcanon Is that she'd be like a therapist to him until he gets the anemo vision)
keep in mind that technically, Irminsul situation is not that urgent. they can definitely spend an hour or two to double check Scaramouche and move to a safer location. but then again, Dottore wouldn't have a chance to show up if Traveler and Nahida regroup with the Sumeru gang lol
@@jojomuppet1820 he isn't a mortal so something like falling down that high won't hurt him imo
The way she looked at Nahida fell like a mother would when her children became successful man. 😭😭😭😭
R.I.P Rukkhadevata
well in practice is just another version of her in endless cycle but yeah Nahida just needs to believe in self
@@alanea5860 no, she's another branch so still that part is dedge dedge, no copium bro
Who?
Tip: in the first phase , use the fully charged akasha terminal to paralyze him by standing on an electro panel (stand on a panel then press T), that would give him 50% paralyze. Stand on the remaining electro panel will paralyze him completely (you need 4 energy crystals to do that whole process) (you can get the hidden achievement by doing that)
Extra tips:
Pyro panel clears out ice floor
Cryo panel clears out fire floor
Ameno panel lets you dodge his lazer beam attack by using winglider to fly upward
Hydro panel heals you
(Note: every panel refills characters' elemental bursts)
(congrats for getting a hidden achievement when he roasts you after his spirit bomb)
I love your reactions so much I’m glad I’m not the only one who cries on these emotional archon quest :)
thank you so much!! I'm so glad we can all cry together!!
Omg when Scara says "Please". Kudos to the voice actor my heart shatters to pieces.
He’s incredibly talented!
Hahaha. I think we need an animation of Lorie talking to Scaramouche in Pardis Dhyai.
i love scaramouche but it’s *hilarious* to me how they just moved on and didn’t bother checking if his skull was still intact after that fall. they really pulled an “oh no… anyway-” 😭 😭
edit: i know he’s a puppet. it’s just hilarious to think of 😶
Scaramouche is a puppet, not a human. Once a puppet that is broken can always be repair back.
it really was like that 😭
I don't think Ei would've made a puppet so fragile that a fall from that height would've cracked his skull~
@@MiyashiruX exactly
i know. but it’s still hilarious to think of.
I laughed too hard at “Not another Kamisato!” when Ayaka fell lmaoooo
I genuinely think that if Lord Rukkhadevata wasn't corrupted by the forbidden knowledge and had managed to stay alive after what happened 500 years ago, she would've journeyed all the way to Inazuma and comfort Ei with Makoto's passing.
Makoto brought Ei in an Archons' gathering anyway so they could've been at least acquaintances after all those meetings. And Sumeru's quests are all about acceptance of death and joy for rebirth after all, one thing that could've at least soothed Ei's pain.
Now he is under Auntie Kusanali's care. 🌸❤️
This is probably the best Archon Quest in Genshin Impact, so many though moments but can we talk about the LORE we got? OMFG, THIS IS THE THING I LOVE TO SEE😳🔥
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSS, gonna watch later after work 💜
yaaay enjoy!!!
@@LorieMegistus I most definitely willl, I hope you enjoyed the story as much as I did
"she shared this on twitter and it went viral" LOL
twitter would be a dangerous place for her iykyk
After playing the quest, I'm still amazed by Tighnaris balls. He knows he stands no chance against Dottore and still shit talks him.
The encounter with Grand Sage Azar is such a great build up of tension. I really believed that Alhaitham actually betrayed the plan and was secretly working for the Akademiya and the scene kept flip-flopping who was ahead.
Missed the stream but excited for this video!
Imagine getting your gnosis taken by a literal child
Never thought I'd literally stay for almost 4 hours
One of the most interesting parts from this archon quest is that when you forget greater lord, the world ACTUALLY forgets her. Nahidas details are changed and many other sources of the greater lord is changed.
it goes even deeper where mentions of rukkhadevata are removed from the aranyaka questline as well. "the forest will remember" cannot apply here since the forest removed her :(
@@Ivy-jq6di well, the "forest" on Rukkhadevata's case is the Traveler
Screaming at a scaramouche intro was awesome lol
Destroying that little twerp every week seems like much earned therapy.
"I have a VERY CLOSE relationship with Tighnari" Hm..., interesting :">
👀👀👀👀
I swear I saw all the stages of grief flashed through your face after the boss scene 😭😭😭 as a Childe main, it's hard loving these Fatui boys 🥺
It’s hard out here 😭😭
One little detail, when we see Tighnari and Dottore talking, Dottore's voice is a little different then when he talks with Nahida. If we paid attention, we could figure it out before that it was different segments
There so much good things to say about this act. Scaramouche, Nahida crying, "berserk" Alhaitham, Alhaitham's "roommate", Nahida thanking the heroes, Dunyarzad's & Collei's Eleazar cured. This Archon quest beats the previous nations combined. What will Fontaine bring I wonder?
who know ..
mondtstadt was fairytale
Liyue was anime story
Inazuma was depressive
Sumeru was chaotic (shamsaras , secret plots etc )
Fontaine will likely bring something very different again to keep things fresh
I have already watched your Twitch stream but I just want to say it's always been fun watching your reactions to the Archon Quests. I love how you empathize with the characters. As an emotional person myself, I laughed and cried with you while experiencing the final act again.
If the world tree can't record information about "US" the Traveler, than most likely when it comes time to leave Teyvat, everyone will forget us and our existence will be replaced with another figure or be obscured/become fuzzy.
We better start studying those Law books when we arrive on Fontaine
i've played ace attorney and danganronpa! i'm readyyyy
People are concerned (some are angry) for scara's fall and here i'm wondering and concerned for nahida, girl probably been squashed and stabbed repeatedly during those loops and cycles.
Ikr I honestly don’t understand why people are so obsessed with him. Like I definitely feel empathy for him but to me he doesn’t have any redeeming qualities. He literally would’ve killed us and so many other people
@@7mythicalmonsters I like my men fucked up. I don't wanna fix him i want him to keep being evil
It's not about redeeming qualities, it's about if i like them or not
You're indeed correct! The greater lord and Haypasia have the same VA!
yes! the voice actor for them popped in during my stream and confirmed it! :D they did an excellent job with both characters!
Alternate title for this video: scaramouche fan simping for 4 hours
I was waiting for your reaction 😍😍
Scaramouche: Someone like that is qualified to become my first follower.
Lorie: *It should've been me not her! It's not fair!*
The whole Isak disguised as Nahida has me dead 💀
Rukkhadevata and Kusanali is derived from same nature yet they aren't the same.. if Rukkhadevata is a tree then Kusanali is a branch from it
Also, I know this was a lot but Lorie you absolutely NEED to do Tighnari's story quest. I don't wanna say anything that could spoil, just trust it's one of the best ones in the game.
Doing it this week 👀👀👀 very excited
@@LorieMegistus Let's GOOOO very excited for that.
I personally believe that the four descenders are
1. The heavenly principles (a little confused about this, is the heavenly principles a person or a title, we know that the Primordial one is the elder god who first came to teyvat so is the unknown god also the primordial one?)
2. Either someone we’ve never met or the leader of the abyss
3. Alice, she is able to freely travel worlds and has given information to the people of teyvat about other worlds (the word “idol” for Barbara and the dodoco telephone for Klee)
4. And obviously the MC
Nahida specifically said that the abyssal twins fate changed near the end of their journey, clearly something happened that was able to completely change the abyssal twins perspective. I have a theory though, if the abyssal twin went on the same Journey as us (Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, then Snezhnaya) then does that mean that the Tsaritsa told them something? All of the harbingers seem to have extensive knowledge that not even gods know of, and the Tsaritsa is their leader who just so happened to change completely after the Cataclysm. Perhaps she directly saw the “truth of teyvat” and it destroyed her. She then told the abyssal twin and that’s when their fate changed, and they started working with the abyss.
I also believe that Istaroth is the one who is purposely obscuring their fate, she has a duty as a shade of the primordial one to keep balance and maybe the abyssal twin broke that balance. This part is strictly a theory though.
to add on to your hypothesis, can we say that the primordial one is also a descender?
let's put it in a puppet show
the characters in the puppet show ( people of tevyat)
but as the god, we are actually outside controlling them, we are not in the same world as them
@@ahteng3739 I definitely agree. I think we’ve been led astray though. At the beginning of the game, we come into contact with the heavenly principles. We initially thought that she was a god of Celestia but I’m not too sure about that anymore. In the manga, Venti talks about the gods of Celestia and the shadows that are shown are almost normal, kind of like the archons in their everyday suits. That leads me to believe that the unknown god is actually the primordial one. She is extremely different and she has powers not of this world. We know that the primordial one was the first person to come to teyvat. So maybe the unknown god is the primordial one.
@@josh.1162 a book in enkanomiya seems to claim that the primordial one is overthrown by the HP
@@ahteng3739 Overthrown by the second who came, though the SWC did form Celestia and it’s gods (I’m pretty sure, it’s been a awhile since I’ve read the Enkanomiya books)
god i waited for your playthrough this whole time since i missed the live... MY FAVOURITE GENSHIN STREAMER 😩😩
seing nahida cri brokes my heart . i really love your playthrough ! stay safe and hydrated ~
I laughed so hard each time you took a screenshot of Scaramouche and gave it a silly title x'DDDD
3:18:06 ""Sheikh zubayr is busy completing the quest The warm rhythm of the streets"" I love story quests and the theatre and all, but had to skip some stuff because of this overlap in quests 😭 its such a struggle fr they need to fix it so we can enjoy both
Id advise just dont unlock a characters story quest until ur ready to do it. Story keys are easy to get anyway so u dont really lose anything either.
@@typh2630 yea well I had to learn that the hard way
Well, we now know why the dull blade is dull, constantly grinding through the floor as breaks for the traveler
my love for Scaramouche keep growing even more 😭💚💚 I felt his desperation when the Gnosis taken away from Nahida 😭😭😭. and his voice when want the Gnosis back... 😭😭😭😭
love how they add the Japanese theme(flute one) in the part Scara scared taking his mother's Gnosis.
Traveler was like, DW Scara I will be back with Revive Food lol
53:40 “What did you do to haypasia?… and can you do that to me next?”
“Catch him! D:”
*smashes into the ground*
😭😭😭😭
When i see the ayato burst, i always remember my account that got hacked, i'm kinda sad now.😢
But i love your videos ❤❤
Lorie, when mentioned that greater lord Rukkhadevata sounded like Haypasia, that is because they share the same VA LMAO
I'm starting to think that the cutscene in the Battle Pass is starting to make sense now.
poor scaramouche wishing to fight in archon war ... not realizing beings like zhoongli /Ei would laught to his current form
btw Isaak/Nahida banner .. when
Kaveh and Alhaitham are such an old married couple, i love them
The lore drop at the end was actually so shocking
As much as he is cocky, and sometimes a jerk, Alhaitham is indeed very smart to come up with a plan with so many moving parts.
I adore him
Mihoyo must have unlocked a new animation pack because Kaveh’s expressions are SO DRAMATIC!! 😅😂😂
Honary Knight of Favonius
Member of the Crux Fleet
Captain of Swordfish 2
First Sage of Buer
Quite a lot of titles
"The First Sage of Buer" made me gasm all types of ways
Lorie in battle: ,,I'm not paying attention, what happened?"
Yep we already noticed you completely ignored the easy way and not using nahidas helping drone.
Rather even letting ayaka dieing 😂
he said "small and ugly" to kunikuzushi but kunikuzushi always lives in the my heart.
alhaitham and kaveh got me interested in their dynamic but i told myself id stay loyal to thoma and ayato. i love how i can just feel comfortable (and chaotic) connecting to this game emotionally because of your chaotic steams ❤️
i am SO excited for alhaitham and kaveh. they are going to be so much fun lol
also just saw your edit!! that makes me so happy! i'm so glad you feel comfortable
@@LorieMegistus but seriously though … hoyo knows what theyre doing playing with our hearts like this 😭
I think you are the president of Scara Nation. I had fun watching you during the Pardis Dhyai scene
I hope the Hydro Archon speaks like Mona
With the descenders thing, We Technically(?) know 3 of them.
- Susty/Heavenly Principals
- The Traveler
- And believe Alice is one. shes not from tevyat and could be from somewhere else in the world its mentioned somewhere she travels across worlds like the traveler.
As for the unknown Descender, got no clue.
if we put it as a puppet theater, the primordial one can also be counted as one as it also controls the world at the back before HP overthrown it
I still have a long way to go, still have aranara world quests, still have some chasm quests (I am so sick of that giant hole) and I only just finished the Dunyarzard quest which was probably one of the worst things to ever be created by humans. Right up there with Tsurumi island
Alhaitham & Kaveh having a roomate/couple's quarrel was hilarious.
Zhongli was right....
The Traveller is now a backup of sorts....
That "take a break" was immaculate.
Ah yess... The "Nillous is busy"... Trying to finish Sumeru, I had this happen like 50 times...
1:36:30 - 1:36:36 "me next" "which I was that lamp" I almost choked with my chicken 😭😭😭😭😭
You have a great ear! Haypasia and the Greater Lord share the same EN VA.
Don't be sad Lorie, we will have him again in 3.3
Will you pull for all his constellations?
Yes! Going for c6 and r5!!! 🙏🏽
even after the new story, this. This ending still has me crying the hardest, the ending with her words saying farewell to her people. Just ruins me, every time without fail.
Lorieeeee i was waiting for you!
ahhh thank you for waiting!! enjoy it!!!
My man Scaramouche got a new mom by the end 😭
